    You should be really proud of yourself, Andrea. Like you said, “You have to start somewhere,” and you have done just that - you started! That’s often the hardest step. Thank you for your vulnerability and for showing people who are scared to start because of excess weight or ill health that it *can* be done, just in smaller, easier steps. I’m rooting for you!

    Hello Ms. Andrea, Oh my that's too early for me. I do the cough squat. Except I use my adjustable bed. When it gets too easy I lower the bed. I do aqua therapy for my exercises. Land exercises are too hard with my lower back and knee issues. Thank you for showing us the exercises that you do!! I hope you have lots of fun at Comicon. TFS! Blessings to you!🕊✝🙏🏼💖

For me that peaceful morning routine sets the basis of my day and I’m far more likely to move and work out later in the day. You got this and I’m here to cheer you on!

    Getting up early is definitely super helpful. My day starts every day around 4:30. The quiet time really does help 🖤
    The sushi all looked so good!!!
    Walking, stretching & swimming are the absolute best beginner exercises. They're so gentle on the body & it is super important to ease into it.
    And real life is so different than the TV stuff. A lot of folks hold themselves up to those expectations 😕
    Having a friend that helps you stay accountable is really helpful. Ya'all are doing such a great job. Keep at it!!
    And coffee is life 😂 I'm not sure u could go without it. For me it's more of a comfort habit thing. The caffeine doesn't really do anything to me anymore 😂

    You are doing great Andrea. Blinda is my accountability partner and I am hers. Because both of us have mornings where we don’t have the want to to do our morning walk. The knee aches have gotten better as we’ve pressed on through it, so yours will too. Just don’t overdo it. And early mornings are the best. It’s just adjusting your body to get to bed early. That was my biggest issue. And I won’t mention my idea of a burpee. Just know it embarrasses Blinda if I do it in public. 😂. Have an energy filled week. God bless.

    I did not know what a "burpee" was (other than a company that used to sell seeds - LOL). Anyhow, I am starting out slow as well. I found an App for my iPhone called JustFit. They have several workouts to choose from. Most of them were too difficult for me. However, they do have a 30 day Chair workout - were all the exercises are done seated. Even there, a few of the chair exercises were a little difficult (I hate to admit). But the App allows you to skip the ones you don't want to do, or are too hard. I like the seated exercises because after I master those, and get stronger, I can move to doing them standing, like real grown-ups. Hey, I get it. We procrastinate. That's how I ended up where I am. But I'm not allowing that to stop me. I'll start at the bottom and work my way up. High 5 to you! Love your cheery attitude - for waking up at 5:00 AM. No way.

    • @DiggingForHealth
